Former Indian women's team captain Shantha Rangaswamy has resigned from her position as a member of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) and director of the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) after being served a conflict of interest notice by BCCI Ethics Officer DK Jain.

"I have other plans so have decided to move on. The CAC was anyway meeting once in a year or one in two years so I did not understand the conflict," Rangaswamy was quoted as saying by PTI

"It was an honour to be on the CAC committee. It will be tough to find suitable former cricketers for any administrative role in the current scenario (conflict of interest). The ICA I would have resigned anyway before the elections were held. So it was a matter of time."

Retired justice Jain sent notices to the Kapil Dev-led CAC on Saturday (September 28) as he sought a reply on the matter by October 10. The notices were brought about after MPCA life member Sanjeev Gupta alleged that the trio is conflicted as per the Lodha Panel’s proposal of one man, one post.

The CAC, it is understood, will have to go through the process of reappointing Ravi Shastri and WV Raman, coaches of the Indian men's and women's team, again if Jain finds its members guilty of the conflict.
